About this position
The University of Rostock is seeking a research associate for the Chair of Optoelectronics and Photonic Systems within the Institute of General Electrical Engineering and the Faculty of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering. The position focuses on information technology, visualization, optical measurement technology, and the processing of multidimensional imaging data.
The research will involve designing, implementing, and applying computer-algebraic methods, developing visualization concepts for measurement data and mathematical relationships, and creating two- and three-dimensional scenes with animations. The researcher will also work on processing and evaluating image data obtained from multidimensional optical measurement methods, with applications in dynamic three-dimensional motion and flow-field characterization.
The chair conducts research in maritime sensor technology, spectroscopy, and optical velocity and particle measurement techniques. In collaboration with academic and industrial partners, the team develops innovative real-time measurement systems for investigating ship flows, cavitation, microplastic particles, water parameters, and three-dimensional velocity fields. The role may therefore provide opportunities to contribute to interdisciplinary projects at the intersection of electrical engineering, computer science, mathematics, physics, photonics, and maritime technology.
Alongside research, the associate will contribute to research-based teaching in optical and imaging techniques and fundamentals of electrical engineering. Responsibilities include supervising student theses and projects, supporting research assistants, preparing teaching materials, developing didactic concepts using AI-supported methods, and presenting research findings through publications and conferences. The position is also designed to support an individual scientific qualification, such as a doctorate, habilitation, or research-related spin-off.
